You can specify the option in the master map entry.
I seem to remember that was also the case with v4 if you wanted
selective browseable maps.
The default installed configuration makes autofs managed mounts not
browsable when no option is given in the master map, as it is the case
in v4. The options browse and nobrowse are used in other industry autofs
products and they are the recommended options to use, although the
--ghost option can be used in instead of the browse option.
